Half-Life 2 Aftermath headed to retail after all

They got away from Vivendi Universal, but Valve will still be shipping a retail version of Aftermath, meaning you Steam haters won't have to download the whole damn thing.

The release date is estimated at September. However, the identity of the publisher is, currently, a secret. Expect the secret identity of the publisher to be revealed in the summer. Having got extremely chummy with Microsoft recently, a deal with the wacky hipsters from Redmond wouldn't be a surprise.
